Latest team news for Slavia Prague vs Bodo/Glimt
Slavia Prague will be without Dominik Javorcek and Emmanuel Fully on Wednesday due to injury, but otherwise they have almost their strongest squad available.
Lukas Provod has scored two goals this season and is likely to start in attack, while Christos Zafeiris could also feature up front.
Lukas Vorlicky has impressed with two goals in three appearances and is likely to be given a starting opportunity on Wednesday night.
On the Bodo/Glimt side, Brede Moe, Fredrik Bjorkan, Ole Didrik Blomberg, Kasper Hogh, and Isak Maatta are all absent due to injury, while Ulrik Saltnes and Ola Brynhildsen are also at risk of missing the match.
Hogh's absence is a major blow as he has scored 26 goals this season, while the team's second-highest scorer – Saltnes – is also doubtful to play.
If Saltnes is unable to return in time, Jens Petter Hauge will most likely step into the attacking role, and the 25-year-old has already scored eight goals in all competitions this season.

Latest football match prediction: Slavia Prague vs Bodo/Glimt
Slavia Prague secured top spot in the 2024-25 Czech league, earning them direct entry into this season's Champions League group stage, marking their first return to the competition since the 2019-20 season.
Last season, the red-and-white team participated in the Europa League group stage but only won one of eight matches, finishing 30th in the overall standings – a disappointing campaign.
In the 2019-20 Champions League, Slavia Prague were in the same group as Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and Barcelona, and they only managed to get two points.
Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky's team will face Inter Milan, Atalanta, Arsenal, Athletic Bilbao, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, and FC Pafos in the group stage of the 2025-26 Champions League this season, and with their current squad quality, they are capable of causing difficulties for many big opponents.
In the domestic league, Slavia Prague have played eight matches, earning 20 points to lead the table. They enter this match after three consecutive wins, including a 3-1 victory over Karvina on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Bodo/Glimt are the Eliteserien champions, but last season's title only earned them a place in the Champions League play-offs instead of a direct entry into the group stage.
The defending champions Norway advanced through the play-offs to reach the group stage after defeating Sturm Graz 6-2 on aggregate, winning 5-0 at home in the first leg before losing 1-2 in the second leg.
Coach Knutsen's team has now played 21 matches in the Eliteserien this season, earning 48 points to top the table, two points ahead of second-placed Viking, who have also played the same number of games.
Bodo/Glimt reached the semi-finals of the Europa League in 2024-25, but were eliminated by Tottenham in the final. This will be the first time in their history that they have participated in the Champions League group stage.
Tuesday night's match will also be the first time in Champions League group stage history that a Czech team and a Norwegian team have faced each other, so history will be made at Fortuna Arena.
